The wireless charging market is expected to grow at an exponential rate during 2017 to 2025. In wireless charging, a receiver (integrated inside an electronic device or other devices) receives energy without wires or cables from charging station. This received energy is the utilized to charge the battery. Wireless charging provides multiple benefits such as convenience in using owing to elimination of requirement of physical connectors, safety and low life cycle cost. Wireless charging is gaining usage in electric vehicles, wearable devices and portable electronics owing to aforementioned benefits. In addition, rising demand of radio frequency (RF) wireless charging in low power devices is also fuelling the growth of the market. Owing to such benefits, demand for wireless charging is expected to grow at rapid pace during the forecast period.
